Ma. Ed P. Thompson has found that the
blackening OF the glass of incandescent
lamps is chiefly due to the carbon particles
which are driven off on first closing the cir
cult when the filament obtains a static
charge In order to avoid this Mr.. Thomp-
son has made lamps IN which the filament
surrounds a loop or stem of copper wire,
which passes through the stem of the lamp
and is connected to earth; the wire being
also provided with several points that pro-
iect toward the flament The result is that
when the static charge is received the car
bon molecules tend to be projected upon the
wire and the blackening Of the glass is pre-
vented.

the yelks and salt well together, to which
add the cream well whipped; beat the whites
to stiff froth and stir lightly into the

requires the utmost watchfulness and skill
to prevent scorching. 1t is recommended
by some to set the pan in the oven for a
moment to brown, but this renders it less

A Garden Hotbed.

An exchange thinks the best method of
preparing hotbed for a small garden is to
excavate trench two feet deep, three feet
wide and as long as desired, selecting sunny
and well-drained spot; sprinkle little stable
litter in the bottom and on this shovel
enough horse-stable manure to make - to
10 inches in thickness after it is we'll tramped
down; around the bed construct a frame or
crib OF boards, a foot high and IS inches at
the back, with ends beveled to fit the sides,
| the whole to be covered with glass in sash
that can be conveniently raised or lifted off
when required. Some manure should also
be put around the frame on the outside and
covered with earth to keep out the cold air.
Horse-stable manure, mixed with a mode
rate amount of the bedding, is the right
kind to use, and it should be hauled out and
piled up few days near the trench, and
be forked over several times and kept moist
but not drenching wet until the heap is well
heated up, when it should be shoveled in the
pit as directed and covered with five or six
inches of rich soil as bed for the seed If
the heat is excessive at any time remove the
whole or portion Of the sash, and on warm
days this should always be done. Where
old sashes are on hand the bed may be made
of size to suit them and save the expenses
of new. In sprouting large quantities of
sweet potatoes for plants many producers
cover their beds with coarse muslin as being
cheaper than glass and answering the pur-

Preserving ManureS.

The Philadelphia Record says that there
is annually a large waste of the valuable
properties of manure, and the rivers carry
to the sea much of the wealth of the land
Manure is really the true wealth of the
country for it contains within itself all the
essential elements that produce the crops
that serve as food and many of the raw
materials that enter into manufactures
Every ounce of it that is saved is so much
wealth retained for use at another time and
the saving o the manure is the most inn
portant matter the farm. The fertilizing
propertie; manure are lost in many ways
The rains carry off the soluble ingredients
as fast as decomposition changes the solids,
while the winds, in evaporating the moist
ure, also take away portions of the volatile
matter Not only should the manure be
sheltered from the winds and rain, but it
must be managed in manner SO as to pre-
vent loss of volatile matter, as the cases
generated are sometimes the most valuable
portions. The manure heap is really la
boratory and the farmer a chemist, even
though his knowledge of chemistry may be
limited. OF the fact that manure can be
benefited and made more valuable all farm
ers are familiar, for by using absorbents
they know that the essential elements are
partially retained, but the decomposition of
the manure and its conversion into plant
food depend upon the temperature of the
atmosphere, its humidity and its compost
ton; and judgment must be exercised in
its preservation, as no two manure heaps
are allie. The volatile matter can be con-
verified into solids, however, and in that
manner the plant food may be retained.

entirely decomposed. or so changed in char

family to which il belongs seems well

sorghums, Asatioand African, grow well,

crops in which little is removed from the

GUS cropping, and that is the slowness with
which the stalks and stubs decay. This may
not prove so serious difficulty here as
North, where frost and cold step in and oc-

one crop and planting another, more or less
completely arresting decay. Florida should
raise her own brooms. just as she should her

less than 15c., while we pay twice that or
more. Brush for 500 brooms, at least, can

The management of the crop is simple

Faults of California Fruit.

A miner writes to the New Orleans Plea
9Jltne as follows: l never fail to find the
empty fruit can on the highest peak or in
the most inaccessible gulch, and as there are
hard frosts even in the middle of July, this
region will always be dependent on the out
side world for fruit and vegetables Cali
fornia farmers with commendable enter
prise supply us with fruit. But if the truth
must be told their fruit, though beautiful
to look upon, has about as much flavor as a
pumpkin. Pears and peaches are particu-
larly poor. In the nature of things it must
always be SO with the fruit of dry climates

PARSLEY OMELEr.--Mix with the eggs a
tablespoonful of finely chopped parsley and
cook as directed. 1t is sometimes varied by
the addition of little finely minced shall

the parsley some thyme or sweet marjoram,

the most popular of all omelets and is to be
had at every wayside inn in even the most

Bloat in Cattle.

ID. Thompson gives the following as q
sure cure for bloat in cattle to the Home
and Farm: When an animal found to be
afflicted with hoven, if there is life in it,
fasten its head so it can be controlled and
put in a quart of cold water about half a
pound of common soda. Put this mixture
in long-necked bottle, if one is at hand, if
not common flask bottle will do; place the
neck of the bottle well back in the animals
mouth. Take care not to put it between the
teeth, as the animal is liable to crush it,
which would very likely be the last crush
ing it would ever do. Pour the mixture
slowly down the throat, and if swallowing
is difficult it can be aided by rubbing down
each side of the gullet with the hand This
remedy never fails to give relief; if one
quart does not do it two viii. | have tried
this remedy several times, and from five to
ten minutes is as long as it ever postpones
action. l have seen animals so near dead
they could not walk and in fifteen minutes
they would be perfectly well. The gas
passes off so rapidly that you can see the
animal shrink.

The Pine Country.

A CORRESPONDENT of the NelU ENGLAND
Farmer, writing from Mobile, says of the
"piney woods" region of Alabama and
Georgia, II expect to see the day-and
cannot think it distant-when what is called
the piney woods region will be thickly
dotted with beautiful residences-some
seeking health, others profit in various vo-
cations, and yet others the mere luxury of
climate for winter A great many people
think this is a malarious country, but it is
one of the most healthful on the continent
The drainage is perfect--the country being
rolling, almost broken III places-springs
are abundant and clearwater streams nu-
merous. The water is very pure and soft,
the roots of the pine being antiseptic. The
coolest weather is from ~ to 20', taking
the upper and lower points, respectively, of
the pine belt; I'D this temperature repre-
sents degrees not touched probably once in
ten years, and then only of the shortest du-
ration. For pulmonary and rheumatic
complaints l think the climate unsurpassed.
| could give you long letter on the former
topic alone. Fruits, such as grapes, figs,
apples, pears, peaches, Strawberries, black
berries and pomegranates can be raised
with great profit and success; and feel
pretty sure that cherries and raspberries
can be, although my Investigations do not
warrant anything beyond a strong belief.
Vegetables without number can be raised
and the profits are enormous. Both fruits
and vegetables can be had through much
longer seasons than with you. The flowers
have brightness of hue that have never
seen equaled and many are in bloom all
winter through.
